Despair’s inevitability
By h james a. galgano
 
Dreams once sewn on concrete fields foresworn eternal
Are soon left for naught within condescending light once
diurnal
Searching for one given moment hopes are harvested by sheer
might
Like some untrue miracle of loaves and fishes to feed
voracious un-requite
Within untilled soil whose thirst is unquenched by drought
with no reprieve
That starvation soon becomes a familiar unwelcome bringing
hope to knees
There despair aroused places each and every dream finally to
eternal rest
While lingering aspirations cavort easily with blossoming
ideology to detest
But for the grace of so many manmade gods do we all go like
lemmings into sea
Left with unshared laughter wrought from the depths of
despair dispensed equally
